:( Nothing Massa could do.

I will say McMerc has won this year in the acting category. The position change for Ferrari was too obvious, where as McMerc atleast made it look like Heikki tried into the hairpin at Germany

Ok you DVR procrastinators - have you watched quali @ Shanghai yet? I stayed up late last night to catch it. I'll refrain from commentary so as not to be the spoiler :-P

Did anyone hear Peter Windsor and Steve Matchett discussing the excessive spending in Formula One? They bring up very good points, especially with the overly extravagant motorhomes.

I'm guessing that was during practice?

My DVR fucked up so I didn't get practice, but thankfully still got quali. I'm curious to see what the extraordinary cost cutting meaures for 2010 will be.

^ Yeah, there will definitely be some drama during Quali and race, and LH's "do whatever it takes" attitude is going to be the catalyst for any of that aforementioned drama.

I watched the Friday practice last night - Alonso seems to have mad-hatred for all things Lewis & McLaren. I don't know what he may do on the track to make Lewis' life miserable (providing he out-qualifies him), but expect some drama. If Alonso gets the chance he's going to make life very difficult for Hamilton. Now if Alonso pulled the hat trick and got a 3rd win in a row....well, that would sweet.

Keep in mind, Lewis needs to finish no less than 3rd to earn 6 points and secure the Driver's Title for this season. He can afford to drive a more conservative race and seal the deal. If he has a similar 'event' like he did last weekend at the start of the race, he's letting his ego drive the car.

P.S. I wonder if Ron Dennis' promise to give Lewis a McLaren F1 road car if he wins the title still stands?

[devonjordan]

lol the way he was talking in his interviews it may indeed happen. Then again he may take both Massa and Hamiton out somehow and like Kubica win hahaha.

That would be IDEAL...

Piquet had a good run as well...
